Manchester City face a significant hurdle in the Premier League title race today as talismanic striker Erling Haaland was a surprise omission from the matchday squad to face Leeds United. Manager Pep Guardiola confirmed ahead of kick-off that the Norwegian international sustained a "minor injury" during the closing moments of training on Thursday.
While the club has described the issue as "not a big issue," the 25-year-old was deemed not fit enough to travel to Elland Road. With 22 league goals already this term, his absence forced a tactical reshuffle, with Omar Marmoush leading the line. Fans will be sweating on his fitness ahead of next week’s Champions League showdown with Real Madrid.
